Statement:
Hello,
I'm Professor Arthur Highbury. I'm 62 years old and currently
teach Chemistry at Oxford University.
Now can you just clarify why you've got me here? What have
people been saying about me? You can't just bring me in here
on a whim you know. I've got no connection with this Marilyn
girl, I didn't even teach her. Obviously I feel terrible for
her family, it's always a great shame when a young person
dies and I am led to believe she was a very talented individual
but I've got no place here. I am a busy man, and my wife is
waiting. We're scheduled to have luncheon with some very important
people.
Look,
all I know is she was the roommate of one of my most gifted
students, Rebecca. From what I glean from her Ms Spencer was
a bit of a user and she liked to get her own way. But like
I said it's not my place to say as I hardly knew the girl.
Oh and there was that thing in the papers recently about her
brother Carl turning up out of the blue. Apparently he's the
bastard lovechild of her father Lord Spencer. He claimed the
late honourable Spencer had a rather grotty affair with his
maid. Not a story I'd subscribe to. The deluded ramblings
of that imbecile must have wreaked a terrible toll on the
wellbeing of that poor girl.
If
you're speaking of murder you should be interrogating that
boyfriend of hers, Guy. He's the kind of self-centred cretin
that would carry out such a crime. He's definitely got the
strength to do it. You're wasting your time with me.
